User Privileges

To grant or revoke user privileges, do the following:

•
Grant all privileges: To grant all privileges to a user account, select the User is granted ALL privileges check box.
•
Grant specific privileges: To grant specific privileges, select the privileges in the Denied list, and click Add. The selected privileges are moved to the Granted list.
(To select consecutive items, hold down the Shift key while clicking with the mouse button; to select non-consecutive items, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse button.)
To revoke privileges, select the privilege in the Granted list, and click Remove.
•
Assign presets: To assign a predefined or user‑defined preset, select the Preset in the Privileges Presets list, and click Load. A predefined Preset can be identified by a trailing ♦ symbol in its name.
When you assign a Preset to a user, the user is granted all the permissions included in that set. The selected privileges are moved to the Granted list.
You can assign only one Preset. If you load a new Preset, the Granted list is overwritten with the new set of privileges.
For more information about creating, modifying, and deleting Presets, see Using Presets.

When the quota limit is reached, the jobs submitted by the user fail. The media usage amount is calculated from the existing records in the Media Database. When a saveset is retired, the amount of media used by it is added to the available pool.

Job Quota

•
Infinite: This option is selected by default. To allow access to infinite number of jobs, use this option.
•
Up to: To set the quota limit, select this option. Type or enter the maximum number of jobs the user can perform.
When the quota limit is reached, the user is not allowed to submit any other job. The number of jobs performed by a user is derived from the existing records in the Scheduler Database. For any deleted job definitions, a user can submit an equal number of new jobs.
